Rotating Shoes (Read 646 times)

So I just retired my (I think) third pair of Brooks Radius 6/7s at 425 miles. I retired them for all the usual reasons of small aches and pains, and some more serious pain in my right hallux (base of big toe). I went to my local running store and tried on a bunch of things and left with a pair of Nike Moto V*. I knew that there would be some adjustment period as my foot adjusted to new shoes. But the arch of my foot has been really tight/sore (never had problems with this before) and I've also been having some pain on the inside of my lower legs. I've put about 30 miles on the new shoes. I thought I would have adjusted... should I give it more time? should I rotate in the old pair of shoes? should I buy a new pair of Brooks Radius and rotate those in? should I ditch the new shoes altogether? Thanks for your thoughts. (Call to a podiatrist also on to-do list for the hallux issue)

I recommend rotating your shoes anyway (I generally rotate between 3-6 pairs at any given time) and I like having different styles to rotate between. That being said, when I find shoes I like, I buy as many of that model as I can at the time and rotate between those.

Amen!
